Overview
The feature debut of Argentina's Pablo Giorgelli charts the slowly blossoming feelings between a taciturn long-distance truck-driver and the mother and infant to whom he reluctantly gives a lift. The pace is measured, even slow, but the subtle, wholly credible performances and the meticulous attention to telling details make for a highly engrossing and finally very affecting film
